Caliper render for this kit:

The CX-3’s DK platform carries noticeably more mass than the Mazda 2 underpinnings it shares, and that additional crossover bodywork shifts the front axle’s braking burden upward, particularly under the weight transfer of repeated hard stops. Mazda’s chassis tuning on the DK is genuinely engaging for a compact crossover, but when you use it properly on a fast B-road or a track day, the stock front brakes become the ceiling before the chassis does.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces that stock hardware with an upgrade designed to match how the CX-3 behaves at the limit. You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs, with three pad compounds, disc style, and caliper finish all chosen above this copy when you order, everything from daily commuting to circuit use finished properly.

What this brake kit does for your 2015-2026 Mazda CX-3

The stock front brakes handle normal road use competently, but they were not specced with back-to-back track sessions or extended mountain-road blasts in mind. The hollow-vane disc improves heat dispersal over the factory discs, keeping brake fluid temperatures out of fade territory on repeated hard stops. Two-piece floating discs cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front, and braided lines firm the pedal by removing rubber-hose expansion. Moving to Sport raises the ceiling for fast-road use with more bite and a higher heat range, while Racing works best once temperatures are properly up, the point at which the CX-3’s light-for-a-crossover kerb weight and composed front-end balance genuinely reward a committed driver. Street is the quiet, low-dust everyday default.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc is designed to pull heat away from the friction face during sustained braking loads. The three-tier pad range covers the full spectrum of CX-3 use: Street for everyday road conditions, Sport for spirited fast-road driving where temperatures climb but stay below circuit levels, and Racing for the operating temperatures of proper lap sessions where sustained deceleration from speed demands more of the pad material. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, light yet stiff, and for circuit use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Discs can be drilled or slotted at the same price, with centre bells available two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium. Included caliper colours, at no extra cost, are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver finishes and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange, all far beyond the stock grey items in visual terms.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.

Will these clear my OE wheels?

Disc diameter is shown in Tech specs. Larger discs need more wheel clearance — most big brake kits require 17″+ wheels, some 18″+. Check your wheel size against the disc Ø before ordering.
How long until they ship?

Made-to-order at Cool Bear’s Taiwan facility. Typical lead time is 10–15 working days from full payment, plus UK courier transit.
Do I need to bed the pads in?

Yes — follow the bedding procedure in the supplied installation guide. ~200 km of progressive use builds the pad transfer layer for full bite.
